Wow, great and inspiring stories everyone, sometimes it needs to be re enforced to me that I'm not the only one. Has anyones doctors mentioned anything to them about muscle atrophy in their facial muscles. I know the facial muscles take a lot longer to atrophy then other muscles in the body. It was brought up to me at my last appointment since I'm still a 6 over 6 on the scale at the time of 5 months, 6 months now, and no movement. He was talking about reanimation or nerve graft surgery at 1 year if there was no sign of movement. That scared the hell out of me, that's a game of "beat the clock" that I most certainly do not wanna play. They were rather confident about my facial nerve coming back at first, since my nerve supposedly show continuity during the whole surgery, but now they aren't nearly as confident since I don't have any movement at all yet.
Anyway, on a lighter note, anyone have any tips or tricks to share? I've been taking vitamin B complex , Flax and fish oil. I've read that flax oil can help with nerve regeneration, Parkinsens disease (neuro disorder), and reflexes (neuro). I did notice that when I started taking the flax that I started getting a few more odd sensations on my bad side, like the "facial worms" or sparks or spasms, whatever you choice to call them. Anyway, was it from the flax? Was it from the timing I started taking it? Coincedence? I don't know, lol. But is it worth my 6 dollars at Wal-mart for the bottle to think that might help? HELL YA!!!!!
